"At least one celebrity was offered a baseline of $125,000 for the rehearsals, two weeks on the air before the first elimination, and an appearance at the finale," the documents read.

"The document claims that beyond that point, contestants who manage to stick around get an extra week of pay for every week they are not eliminated. The grand total if they make it to the finals? It’s a potential $345,000!"

The show's pitch letter brags about how much publicity the contestant will drum up by being part of a "national phenomenon," and that he or she would be a fool not to accept.
